Biography
The son of Yoshinaga Otomo, he married an Ouchi lady. As a daimyo he fought the Ouchi and Shoni, and gained hegemony over lots of lands in Kyushu. Not only did he fight Kyushu clans, but also warred against the Ito, Urakami, Takaoka, and Bessho clans, most of which were in southern Chugoku on the main island of Honshu. Yoshiaki was the victim of infighting in his clan, with Chikazane Irida killing him and his son and making Sorin Otomo the new daimyo.
